Live Chat: The Collapse of MF Global

MF Global (OTC: MFGLQ), the futures broker that was run by former Goldman Sachs (NYS: GS) Chairman Jon Corzine, folded in spectacular fashion and left a crater in its wake. In addition to destroying the eighth largest futures broker in the country and putting thousands of jobs at risk, the bankruptcy also revealed a gaping, $1.2 billion hole in the customer segregated accounts at the brokerage. That's cash that belongs to tens of thousands of farmers, fund managers, and independent traders all over the country.
